fi'Machines of this type of known construction,

comprise centrically revolving cylinders adustable to the skeinlength'fand' ecc'e'ntricaL ly mounted cylinders, forming. together onepair of cylinders, by means of which the 10 skeins arecontinuallylstretchedandslack ened. In these machines the skeins arevstretched continually with the [same force without consideration to thedegree of entan 1111 It is however moreadvanta eous if the operation 01".such a machineis more similar to the formerly used worklng' by;

hand, i. e. regulated so that it considers the I e I to engage with'saidnotches; This-lock ng of peculiarity ofevery individual skein.

Skeln-yarn beatlng machines have vfurther become known, in which thepair of cylinders is composedof two centrically mounted cylinders, theone of which, the carrying:

cylinder, being; driven, the other one, the

v beating cylinder, beingmounted in an oscil- 2 latable lever controlledby an eccentric disc.

Also these machines work far too positively with regard tothe diiferenceof the yarns and their degree of entangling, as onthe yarn-ske ns shocksof contlnually uniform' strength are exerted n predetermmed intervals,but mainly for the reason that the beating cylinder oscillatesalways atthe same This presents the great incon amplitude. I venience that thosethreads which, owing to 7- the entangling; and curling,- have a smallercircumference than the normalskeln are torn by the first shocks.

In skein-yarn beating machines the one cylinder of a pairiof c lindershas been hith- 1 erto driven continually so that the skeins circulateWhen'the shocks arecarried out.

'ience. If a circulating 'sk ein is stretched by e the beating cylinderthe threads are mutually,

shifted in the longitudinal direction as'the threads directly in contactwith the cylinders advance with regard to the threads farther to l theouter side. "Thefri ctionf'causedherebyis speciallydetrimentaltoartificial-silk.
